Cottage-like West Indie town house. Perfect for two couples or a family!

STOWAWAY is a breezy, two‑story island townhouse perfectly suited for two couples or a family seeking space, comfort, and Caribbean charm. Set within Villas on the Upper Deck, an intimate eight‑unit community just above Cruz Bay, it offers easy access to town while feeling peacefully tucked away.

The main level features an inviting entry foyer, open living and dining areas, a well‑equipped kitchen, laundry, and a convenient half bath. Step outside to the dining deck overlooking the pool, where you can grill, relax, and take in sweeping views all the way to St. Croix.

Upstairs, two private bedrooms—each with its own bathroom and deck—provide ideal separation and comfort. One bedroom includes a cozy sleeping loft, perfect for an older child.

Lush gardens, tropical trees, and a newly updated pool create a classic West Indies atmosphere, and the panoramic views make every moment feel like vacation.

Perfect "home base" for our week in St. John. Kitchen was well-stocked with everything you'd need to prepare breakfast daily and then pack a cooler for a day at the beach. Appreciated the home providing beach chairs, beach coolers, beach towels and pool noodles (used for snorkelling). Air conditioning units in bedrooms worked well to make for comfortable sleeping conditions.Marcia, the owner, was very helpful in planning our week in St. John. She provided many valuable tips, including renting a vehicle in St Thomas vs St John, the passenger ferry vs the car ferry, recommended restaurants and recommended beaches.Lastly... the view from the deck overlooking Great Cruz Bay is amazing. Never got tired of that!

Amazing property and even better owner! Marcia was a dream to work with. She provided us with a wealth of great information about St. John, which was really helpful. She was flexible with our arrival, setting us up with water ahead of time and helping us with our car rental. The property was beautiful, exactly as the pictures showed. We loved it!

Beautiful views, comfortable, a/c was great in sleeping areas. Are every meal on the balcony and never tired of the view. Owner communicated well. The road to get in is very steep but most of the roads on the island are— not bad but noteworthy. Had chickens and kittens for company, the pool was nice and clean.

The view was amazing and this rental was perfect for our family of four. The complex was quiet and private. Plus, the pool and AC units in the bedroom made it an extra comfort stay. Communication with the owner was prompt and she provided tons of ideas and info for us.

The most quintessential St. John cottage!

Book the trip! Just do it. We had the absolute best stay on St. John with our family and our stay cottage made it so perfect. We had all the beach items, a grill for after a long day at the beach, TV to watch our Tigers play baseball and some precious kitties who would visit us. The pool was wonderful for an afternoon dip from our long days snorkeling! Marcia provided us with tips, tricks and all the recommendations for our agenda and stay. Grateful our time on the island and look forward to visiting again soon.

Wonderful Winter Escape

Stowaway was a great place to stay on St John. It’s a beautiful hilltop property with spectacular views of Cruz Bay and was the perfect space for two couples. The owner provided a lot of helpful information ahead of our arrival and was very responsive. The unit came stocked with bathroom essentials & beach bags, chairs and towels. It was close to Starfish Market for a few groceries (bring your own bags) and town restaurants (5 min drives). Would definitely stay here again.

Fantastic Nine Nights at Stowaway at Upper Deck Villa's

I have been vacationing in St. John for 35 years; I must have stayed in 15-20 Villas. Stowaway is one of my favorites. For a single person, two people, or two couples, it is perfect. The view is absolutely fantastic. The interior is lovely, clean, and well-kept. Two fantastic bedrooms upstairs. The Villa is equipped with everything you will need. This property is so convenient for everything. Marcia is a fantastic, helpful, and communicative host. What more can I say than I have already booked for the end of 2024 into January 2025, doubling the time I will be staying.

Amazing stay at the Stowaway

We just returned back from a week long stay at the Stowaway and it was a trip to remember. From the minute we booked, Marcia was incredibly helpful, offering a full list of things to visit and do in St. John. The pictures online don't do this place justice! The views are simply stunning, there are two decks one on each floor. The villa is up a steep hill, very tranquil and quiet. It is a very close drive to town, we would drive in every night and park in a lot. We rented a Bronco in St. Thomas, and drove it over on the ferry as Marcia recommended and it was wonderful advice. We will be back soon and stay here. We had our three young children who really enjoyed the place as well. She has everything and more in stock! It's a great place!

Great place to stay on St John. Comes stocked with bathroom essentials & beach gear. Owner provided much helpful info ahead of our arrival and was very responsive to any issues that came up once there. Being a two-story unit with stairs, not suitable for anyone with mobility issues. Road up to unit is steep, windy, & not well-marked but the payoff is spectacular views.

Charming place with beautiful view

The host was wonderful and had lots of great suggestions for snorkeling, eating, beaches etc. the air conditioning in the bedrooms was great and I loved the open plan with incredible views off both the upstairs and downstairs. There was a nice pool but we didn’t use it since we stayed out hiking and snorkeling each day. The drive up was quite steep and I am glad we rented a Jeep . I would definitely stay here again!

Stay at Stowaway

Fabulous views to the southeast over Cruz Bay from bedroom deck and lower, main floor deck. Is fairly high up mountain. All amenities, appliances worked well, except mosquito screens, some of which don't actually close inside from outside at screen rollers. May be the best bedroom for sleeping I've ever encountered. Landlord was very nice, helpful and friendly, a great welcome to St. John's. Would stay there again, next time.
